I was looking to get my first tattoo. I checked out the artist's portfolios at ALL the local shops and found a guy I liked at Skin Flix. I tried to set up an appointment since this was my first tattoo and I was taking my time to do everything right. He assured me it's ok to just walk in when I'm ready and we'll do it. So when I came back in he was busy and brushed me off on to what turned out to be the new guy. Definitely my fault for not walking out but it took a long time for me to get my nerve up to get my first tattoo so I trusted his advice. The guy had to stop and answer phones and greet people who walked in. That made my ankle tattoo turn in to a 4 hour job and anyone who has had work done know how sensitive the skin gets after it has been worked on, left alone for 5-10 mins and then gotten more work done right back on it.
Main point, the tattoo looks completely amateurish and I had him stop and not complete the rest. I went back in a couple months later to ask them to try to fix it up. The guy who did it no longer worked there and the owner and a couple other guys just laughed at me and said "No way. We don't touch other people's work." The tattoo was done at his shop! What a bunch of unprofessional, irresponsible *%#%! I am so unhappy with the whole experience. I did find someone eventually at another shop to at least clean up the lines and add more color as can be seen in the pic. I would never return to a business who laughs mockingly at a customer and refuses any sort of help or advice. Wish I could give 0 stars. To be fair, I must admit this occurred some years back but I know the same owner is still operating it. Much better choices out there!
